How do you beat the seasonal depression and go to the gym? Basically any time I’d normally go it’s like pitch dark so I’ve been bad about going

find a gym with a bunch of hot arse girls or figure a way were you no longer need motivation and just rely on discpline or set goals.

i work out in the garage and its always dark when i do, well 90% of the time. so biggest thing with me is its discipline and then setting goals that i want nothing more than to beat.

I get up to get my kids ready for school. When they leave at 5:40, I throw on a headlight and start walking to the gym. Walking on a trail when it's dark and cool wakes me up and gets the heart pumping much better than a treadmill. It also doesn't hurt that I'm constantly scanning for dogs/coyotes.

For me personally, the motivation is seeing results. Which really makes it tough to get going in the beginning. A few months ago, I was slacking off with my lifting, only making it to the gym two or three times a week. I could tell the difference in the mirror. So a little over a month ago, I had to just stop being lazy and start being consistent. Here I am on week six of four to five lifting sessions a week, and eating slightly better (all either home cooked or frozen high protein meals, no fast food) and I can see the results, which in turn motivate me to keep going.

Also, lifting in the winter has always been my favorite. I love wearing the baggy sweats and baggy shirts to make others at the gym wonder "is he jacked or is he hiding some love handles under those baggy clothes?"


Here a hint: its both!

Take off your shirt.
Look in the mirror.
Turn to the side.
Take a deep breath and exhale as you relax and let your shoulders roll forward.

The image looking back at you is your motivation.
